The corpus callosum, about four inches long, connects the two cerebral hemispheres. Thousands of nerve fibers disperse from this link into the white matter of the cerebrum. The anterior commissure, a smaller connection, lies in front of the corpus callosum. If the corpus callosum is cut, the two hemispheres will become functionally independent.
